Chrome for Android: Some forum pages not sizing correctly


Website Feedback


In the past two weeks or so, some pages are not sizing correctly. Text falls off the right side of the screen, and zooming or scrolling will not help. Rotating the screen also does not help: it just increases font size.

On a Samsung Galaxy S7 running Chrone for Android.

It's not all forum pages, but here's one:

Edited to add: it looks like it's pages with a long URL that seems to lock the number of columns, pushing some text off the screen.


I've noticed this too. Oddly, if the page loads while I'm holding the phone horizontal, it works fine and I can flip it to vertical again. But if it loads while I'm holding it vertical, it overflows and flipping to horizontal doesn't help.

Likewise I've had the same problem, as has one of my players. I think we're both Android users as well (I know I am). I'm on a Google Pixel XL, running Chrome for Android as well. Browser bug maybe?

I'm having a bit of a problem viewing certain threads. I'm using chrome, on a pixel 1 (not xl). The issue seems to make text fail to wrap until about 3-10 characters off the right hand side of the page, with no ability to scroll to the right to see these. The only solution I've found is to use simplified view which makes it difficult to tell when one post ends and the next begins. I've just recently experienced this on the new items blog for p2.0. Is anyone else having trouble with every line of text having a missing bit at the end?


I'm having the same issue with some of my PBP threads. However, I have much more than 3 to 10 characters missing. Sometimes it's more than half the screen, to the point I can't even access the preview, cancel and submit post buttons because they're off screen to the right and I can't get to them.

I'm also using Chrome on a pixel 1

Same. It looks like it's most mobile devices. https://imgur.com/a/eeuLGCG


I have this issue as well (Moto G5). I've found that for the pages it happens on, if I rotate my phone so that the page is horizontal when it loads, it loads correctly and I can then rotate the loaded page back to vertical.


Unfortunately, turning it sideways to horizontal doesn't help on my device. However, I loaded up Firefox browser and it appears I don't have this same issue.


S8 for me, and I've no idea how many characters, just enough to know I'm missing complete words. I've tried the simplified view and it just cuts half the page if there's a lot of text. If anything else is needed, I'm happy to oblige so that this can hopefully be resolved!

Merged two threads that seem to be reporting the same behavior.

I can replicate the issue mentioned here and suspect we know what the fix is. We have some upcoming changes that shove resolve the issue and will give an update when that's pushed through.

Was it pixies again? Or did the goblins take things too far this time? :D


I came by to report the same issue on my Android phone.
Amusingly (irritatingly), this page is doing the exact re-size issue I wanted to report.

It's affecting my phone too.


I think it's to do with long words or links which can't be displayed on a single screen width. I could test by displaying one here but I'd rather not disrupt the thread about disrupted threads.

Interestingly, everything now seems to be displayed correctly on my device's Chrome browser. However, this issue is now appearing on my Firefox browser. But for me, that's not a problem as I generally use Chrome anyways.
